@neogeo328 It is the same procedure as growing a perfect square with NaCL .
make an critical solution of salt at room temprature Dissolve as many salt possible. in a jar of water ( 360 grams of NaCL is 1000 grams of water). Then heat up 10 degrees, and put in a jar, then a horse hair with a salt flake( dip in water, then it sticks), Hang it in the jar, then put it away for 2 weeks in an dark enviroment, no peeking or the salt falls down

I think you could make the process faster by putting it in an ice bath, and *maybe* scratching the edge of the glass will give sugar particles more area to stick to. Figured it might be similar to the stuff we make in chemistry. lol.
The amount of time in which you used and money you’ve spent trying to make that, I could just go to a candy store and buy me rock candy for only 2 dollars.
do we have to boil it?
@About do we have to boil it?

Instead of sewing thread, I found white cotton string, (like kite string,) worked very well.
Just wet the string, roll it in granulated sugar, then allow it to dry, until it’s stiff. That way, you won’t need any weights.
Also, let the crystals grow, until they’re at least 1/2 inch wide. Otherwise, you’ve just got crunchy string.
Also, as “DesuDesuRampage” mentioned below, adding some vanilla flavoring is great, as is mint, spearmint, or anise (licorice) flavoring.

@MiluBarakus YEEEEAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
